Obama offers millions in Muslim technology fund
breitbart.com ^ | Oct 23, 2009

Posted on 10/23/2009 7:10:38 PM PDT by rdl6989

The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.

The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.

The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will "catalyze and facilitate private sector investments" throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement.

Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs in areas like technology, education, telecoms, media, business services and clean technology, the White House said.

OPIC said sample projects could help foster the development of new computer technology or telecommunications businesses, or widen access to broadband Internet services.

I was worried that muslims would not have the technology to, you know, form networks and cells.

Millions of our tax dollars, no questions asked. Just give it away, thank you sir. This country is going to hell in a hand basket and our Dear Leader is giving millions away to those outside this country … disgusting.

In the words of Phyllis Schlafly, the total existence of these countries depends on selling us oil at exorbitant prices.

Putting aside Islamic terrorism, sorry but I already paid my $3/gallon contribution to Middle Eastern “technology” at the gasoline pump.

Right.
BHO is just a COVERT Muslim.

How nice.

Maybe we should tell the poor guys and gals left FOR MONTHS
"on the point of the spear" in Afghanistan.

Right now I'm NAUSEOUS over Obama's Dithering and seeing that
Pakistan apparently has BIGGER COJONES when it comes to smoking
out and KILLING Radical Islamists in Waristan and other "lawless"
regions between Afghanistan and the rational parts of Pakistan.

And our poor souls in the US Military are stuck (for now with a
mendacious "Commander-In-Chief" in OUR White House).

Forgive me if I vent.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

In the Muslim world, high tech is having sharp razors to do “female excision” on six year old girls.

Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.” Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.

Read the summary from David Obey’s office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

• $3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces

• $400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces

• Afghanistan: $1.52 billion, $86 million above the request

• West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza

• Jordan: $250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance

• Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance

• Pakistan: $1.9 billion, $591 million above the request

• Iraq: $968 million, $336 million above the request

• Oversight: $20 million, $13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq

• Lebanon: $74 million

• International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis

• Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, …including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)

• Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia

• Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic

• Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system

73 million to Zimbabwe

Cost of Copenhagen trip

So the most debt-laden country in the world (in REAL dollar terms) is going to give money to countries swimming in cash and who use their own petroleum wealth to fund as much strife, suffering, and, oh, terrorism as possible...so that they may become more technologically advanced. Brilliant!

Nice to see that he has also found some way to circumvent the supposed First Amendment prohibition against supporting a religion. I guess it was just meant to separate the government of a Christian people from the Christian religion.
